ML Deer experience last weekend

If you use pellets they can absorb sweat from your fingers/hands.  Also if you use pellets there is a void in the breech plug of about an inch..between cap and pellets.  I uses a little trickle of powder before putting in pellets down and it fills up that void.  It seems to help with ignition.

Yelp, you have never seen me sweat. There is a stream, not a drip off of my forehead.

As it turned out, it was sweat. Not only was the nipple plugged, the powder had turned to goop. It felt moist.
It took an hour to clean it out.
